Hatch just announced their launch of It's in the Bag Infant & Toddler kits. I really love this idea. Each of these seven compact and easily portable kits contains high-quality educational products and pre-designed activities for caregivers or parents of infants and toddlers. Each kit varies in scope but focuses on nationally recognized developmental milestones.

Each kit features a theme and the themes are based upon seven cognitive areas recommended by current research from leading groups such as Zero to Three, the Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Themes include Shapes, Touching, Colors, Counting, Farm, Peek-A-Boo or Rhyming.

Included within each kit are age-appropriate books; Guided Reading Labels that ensure meaningful and positive engagement for the child with each book; high-quality, colorful manipulatives; a detailed activity card and an easily-transportable tote bag. I like that these kits include everything you need to help your child learn important skills, and think these would also make a cool baby gift. Learn more about It's in the Bag Infant & Toddler kits.
